Crock Pot Creole Chicken Recipe
This Crock Pot Creole Chicken recipe has all your favorite Louisiana flavors and is easy to make.
This is one of my favorite chicken crock pot recipes.
I've had an obsession with Louisiana for as long as I can remember.
I've dreamed of taking a trip just so I can take a stroll through the historic French Quarter or the Garden District.
I often wrestle with the idea of visiting during Mardi Gras but I know I wouldn't enjoy the crowds and wild celebrations.
This Crock Pot Creole Chicken recipe is not an authentic creole chicken recipe.
If you are from Louisiana and cook creole food please don't be offended.
You'll notice this creole chicken does not have celery in it.
I was out and substituted some celery seed for sliced celery that should be in a creole chicken recipe.
No matter this Crock Pot Creole Chicken recipe is delicious served over cooked white rice.
